Clue 2

Elijah

Blue gave us the go signal. Like real spies, we made our way to what's supposedly "demon girl's" hideout. Blue told us she always tracked her sisters, which is a bit creepy but super helpful in this case.

Once in, the most we could is stare in awe...Literally...the girl planned for our arrival..our shoes were stuck to the ground. Sub was the only idiot to land on all fours so his hands we're stuck too. The place looked empty, yet claustrophobic at the same time. The thin neon strings of lights gave off a techno vibe, at least to me. In front of us was a chair, everywhere else was just darkness. In here was unusually cold, and I didn't bring a jacket. We all had the same idea to just take our feet out the shoes, and Sub insisted on staying behind and being the lookout. 

I lit a flame in my palm and Alex, Corl and I started our barefoot journey to...wherever. All Blue told us was that mine and Alex's pendants would start glowing brightly and we'd almost feel demon girl's presence when we got close to her. She said to keep away from the gun too. But that's all she said before she disappeared. I'm glad she trusts us but like, we're not professionals...

"Okay is it me or is this place getting colder by the minute..?" Alex asked, breaking the silence.

"I know right-" I said. I was probably covered head to toe in goosebumps.

"I love my powers." Corl said, laughing at us.

Alex made Corl hit himself in the face. "I love mine too." 

We hardly take anything seriously, what are you gonna do, fight us?

The tension quickly wore off after that moment and we were just having fun with the mission, until we were almost blinded by the light from mine and Alex's pendants. Blue definitely wasn't kidding. It was like I could see a spirit in front me as we walked, and it was pretty cool being able to be seeing the spirits spying on me. We came to a door with writing on it, definitely in a foreign language. 

"Ten bucks that foreign for porn." Corl joked.

Alex laughed as he slowly pushed open the door. Like in the movies, we looked through the small crack. It was like a summoning room. The light on our pendants just got brighter. We could just about make out a figure lying in the middle of the ring of candles - most likely Ethan. He's the only other demon besides me and Alex. But where are Amie and Denis was the other question. 

We uneasily look at each other and step in. There was a low whispering in the atmosphere, along with cringe worthy sounds like nails on a chalkboard, rubbing styrofoam and a fork on a plate. All of a sudden it stopped, and then there was the sound of a chainsaw cutting through something. It scared the shit out of us, especially Alex 'cause he immediately grabbed onto me and now his nails are digging into my skin. 

Corl walked toward Ethan's still body. The moment he touched Ethan, he came to life and Corl screamed so fucking loud it was hilarious. 

"It's not funny!" Corl said, holding his chest and trying not to laugh at himself.

"Is she gone?" Ethan asked.

"Demon girl? Haven't seen her." I said, shrugging.

"Thank God." 

"Why were you playing dead though." Corl asked after finally calming down.

"She threatened me and Amie to join her or something bad would happen. We kinda tricked her and she tried to brutally kill us blah blah blah. She found Denis but I don't know what she did with him which makes me scared. Point is, she tried to sacrifice my demon side, she prolly did it wrong 'cause she's stupid and she's very dangerous and brutal." Ethan explained.

"Y'know, you make me regret coming to save you.." Alex said.

"Yeah..but you're a nice person and would still try to save me even if you had to give up your demon side." 

"For the record, I'd give up my demon side anytime. I hate it. It's literally a curse." 

"Okay Ethan, where to from here?" Corl said, getting our focus back onto the task at hand. 

My phone rang just after he asked, and it was Sub. However he got his phone out his pocket and managed to dial my number, I don't know.

I put the phone on speaker. He sounded like he was in a rush. "I just saw what looks like demon girl. I don't know for sure, but she said something about using Ethan's demon side to open a portal and I think she knows you're here. Stay safe operatives." 

"Operatives?" Alex asked.

"That really doesn't matter." Sub said with an immediate change of tone.

"Yeah yeah thanks for warning us bye." I said, hanging up.

"Why-?" Ethan asked.

"She's coming in spirit form I can feel it. We gotta hide." I said.
